Coppell, Downes, Dillon, Hammond.

One on each corner of the ground.

When JM dies we can build a Mausoleum, so thousands of people can file past wailing 'He gave us SO MUCH.'
Could build it next to Cilantro?

I think he's already planning the John Madejski burial pyramid which will sit in the Aztec zone of sackville developments planned recreation of Madejskiville (formerly known as Reading).

Might be easier and cheaper to change the windmill into some sort of revolving Coppell penis.

A statue would be the perfect way of commemorating Coppell's acheivements, what with him being such a relentless self-publicist and all that.

Statues are a tacky way of celebrating footballing heritage.

His statue can go alongside that of other great managers like Maurice Evans.........or will there just be a small plaque that can easily be missed somewhere near the ticket office?

Ok then, how about the club pulls its finger out and commissions 5 statues of Coppell in a line or something?

Call it '5 Coppells in a line' or something.

Images welcome...

I always thought the 'Maurice Evans' plaque was a tasteful tribute to a great man and an affordable precedent for future acknowledgements of other 'Reading heroes' Statues cost shed loads of cash, often divide opinions and are difficult to get consensus or approval on from the fans or club. In fact some clubs, having got the original wrong have had to pay twice for the finished product. Oh and get Gormley to do do it if you can!
